Kim's brother, who is the proud owner of an orange Honda Element that crashed nine days after he purchased it, made me aware of the pretty new Honda Element color scheme: Boring gray, but with with blue paneling. <Lorelai>Pretty</Lorelai>. But the non-gray paneling only comes in the more expensive package.
--- I am at the 94.1st percentile in my ESPN men's college basketball pool (166,146th place), and I can go even further up if North Carolina beats Louisville for the championship. If, say, Illinois wins, however, my percentile will drop dramatically, which leads me to my major complaint regarding college basketball pools: the scoring system. Doubling the number of points per victory (PPV) each round (1 for a first-round victory, 2 for a second-, 4 for a third-, etc.) is ridiculous, as it gives equal weight to picking the eventual winner as choosing the winner of all 32 first round games, or picking all 16 Sweet Sixteen teams correctly.
A much better system for scoring is The Fibonacci System, whereby the PPV for every round (starting at rd. three) is obtained by adding the PPVs of the two previous rounds. Thus, rather than:
1-2-4-8-16-32
we have:
1-2-3-5-8-13
Which seems much more in line with the actual skill/luck necessary in each round.
--- Miss Congeniality 2 is exactly what you think it's going to be. But worse.
--- There is no way we could afford to buy our current house (purchased a scant 17 months ago) if it were for sale today. The Western Henrico housing market has simply gone muy loco.
--- Soon, Kim and I will tell those of you who do not know a certain something the aforementioned something. But not today.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
